I'd have a case of the ass if I lived there too. If the most famous thing about your city is chicken wings, ...

Careful, there's a rather large fault right in the bread basket of the country (and the GOP voting base). Last time it went it was pretty ugly...

Wait, New York advertises out here on the left coast on our TeeVee's telling us how business can move there and receive 10 years of tax abatement along with other perks...(will you enjoy paying for that or will you ask the Feds for help, as citizens of NY?)

The mighty Mississippi flowed upstream from that one, as you know.

Personally, I know people live where they like, and many of us end up not far from where we grew up. But IMHO, a lot of people need to be open to go to where there's opportunity. Yes, it will be different but you have to be adaptable, or you'll be stuck somewhere where the economy stagnates. There's reasons why places are popular and prosperous, and the population grows.

And there's evidence at least in Oklahoma that fracking, dewatering and injecting has created more numerous earthquakes. Last I heard, in 2014, there were more 3.0+ earthquakes in Oklahoma than there were in California, and more earthquakes in 2013 and 2014 than in the last 50 years.

Right and I am concerned that the Republican idiot they just elected as Governor here in MD might be pushing for fracking in Western MD.

Me too, anything to scare all them fresh off the boat money grubbin' conservatives the F outta here. Before Ray gun's gross incompetence there were less than half the people here and now we are swamped with runaways from all the failed red states. Nowadays we have nutcakes like Meg and Carly besides the world's biggest ass, Arnold.
Shake baby shake!

Anyone else besides me remember this nonsense?

David J. Phillip, AP

Through more than two centuries, it usually has taken a weighty cause to survive the burdensome process of amending the U.S. Constitution. Americans hold the work of the Founding Fathers in such reverence that they've added to it only 17 times since 1791. That's when the first 10 amendments were codified as the Bill of Rights.

Now, debate over a proposed 28th Amendment is focused on the popularity and political future of one man: macho Republican Arnold Schwarzenegger, the former bodybuilder and action-movie star who has been California's governor for barely a year.

With a bit of encouragement from the Terminator himself, some of Schwarzenegger's supporters are pushing for a constitutional amendment that would allow the Austrian-born governor to run for the White House as soon as 2008. Schwarzenegger is blocked by Article 2, Section 1, Clause 5 of the Constitution. It reads, "No person except a natural born citizen ... shall be eligible to the office of president." The 12th Amendment says the vice president cannot be foreign-born.
